About: I’ve spent years caring for animals of all ages and temperaments, from energetic puppies to mental senior dogs. My experience includes intermediate dog training, neonatal puppy care, and equine handling through my internship at the T.H.C Horsemanship center. I’m confident with feeding routines, enrichment, medication administration and understanding the body language of animals. Im patient with shy and anxious pets and always focus on creating a calm, safe environment where they feel comfortable and understood. Whether it’s structured walks, playtime, or quiet companionship I treat every animal like family and make sure their unique needs are met with care and consistency I am available in the times listed on my profile but can also make accommodation if you need a sitter earlier or later in the day I have multiple pets that I have trained and maintained their diets while keeping up on their health and training them. My pets always get a fresh pot of water and food, learn tricks, and always enjoy their walks
“Kaylah was awesome with both our cat and dog. She was very attentative and had much concern about our cat not eating the first 24 hours. But, the situation resolved with Kaylah’s attempts to make the cat comfortable with her. 😃 She is the first to follow feeding instructions and found our home very clean. She is highly recommended that I’ve already booked her for our next trip.”
“Averie did a great job pet setting for our 18 year old dog Remy. She provided a calm, nurturing presence for him that made him feel comfortable. I would highly recommended Averie for house sitting/pet sitting.”
“Melinda is the best! She was awesome with my two dogs, Jake and Charlie. She took care to follow all of my instructions and provided them with all the love and comfort as if I was with them. I really appreciate how attentive she was! And even more important, Jake and Charlie definitely loved her!”
“I hired Kaylee to sit at my home with my Belgian Malinois with separation anxiety. I appreciate her quick responses thru the Rover App, and her willingness to arrive for an early morning appointment. We will definitely call Kaylee again in the near future.”
“Ebonnie was great with our two pups! They are a bit rambunctious and she did well with them. She kept in touch while we were away and updated us when we asked. She is respectful and sweet. I already have her booked for a trip in September!”
“Daniel was amazing and treated my pup with a lot of love. She has high anxiety and needs constant attention and he supplied it! He gave me multiple updates and a lot of photos throughout the day. I will be using him again soon and highly recommend him.”
“Did a great job with my fur babies. She sent me pics and updates of them. My dogs loved her and I would definitely rebook her for the next time I have a trip away. She did a great job!!”
“Cassidy was very sweet, caring and patient with my senior beagle. She was patient and followed all instructions. She communicated regularly and sent photos and videos. I have already requested another booking with her. I recommend Cassidy for your pet.”
“I am so happy my first choice for a dog sitter was Stephine and Jon. I had never left my fur babies with a sitter before, so I was nervous but Jon and Stephine put me at ease right away with pictures and text messages. They stayed in our home and left it like we never left. Lucy and Molly kept looking for them when we got home!”
“Louie was an amazing sitter! My dog, Chevy, takes some time to warm up to people and is anxious. Louie was very patient with him and got him to be comfortable with him very fast! He took the time to update me and send pictures which made me feel even more at ease! He also left my house in great condition. I highly recommend Louie and will definitely be using his services again.”
About: I have grown up around dogs and cats my whole life. I started watching my family friend’s and mutual’s furbabies and I love it! I’ve been caring for pets other than my own for about 3 years now. I am not working a job at the time so I am pretty open as long as I have some time in advance to clear! I feel very comfortable in going in to other people’s houses while respecting their space and caring for the animals according to their schedules. I have done this for several people before!
“Lili was wonderful with our boys, Ozzy & Luke. She communicated with us throughout the stay. She sent updates and photos of our pups, which we really enjoyed. She treated the pups and our home with lots of respect. We’re looking forward to her spending more time with our pups in the future. Lili is great, your fur babies will warm up to her immediately. 💛”
About: I’ve worked at two separate dog daycare’s. With three years experience indoors in a small facility and another three at an outdoor activity resort. I can confidently say I have experience with all types of breeds from big (Mastiff’s, German Shepherd’s, Golden, doodles) to small ( shih-tzu, Maltese’s, mini terrier, etc.) I managed and was responsible for meal times as well as distributing medication. I have personal and professional experience as a dog bather. Most importantly I love dogs and get a ridiculous amount of joy from their company. I’m currently working part time as a dog bather and happily able to work around schedules to find the right time for you pup/pups. No stress for feeding, walking, or playing let me know when’s best and I’ll be there to do the rest. If dogs aren’t listening I like to use what I call the Calm method. First we Clap to alter there attention, if that fails Aliment(food) try offering a treat for distraction. Treats are used for motivation until a deeper relationship and trust has developed then less treats are necessary. Third, Listen to what set the dog off and take action to prevent reoccurrence. And lastly Pause to take a moment to reset your energy and the dogs bring you both back to a calm state.
“kaylee was amazing! we had her stay at our house for 8 days and she did a great job taking care of our pups. (they are both very needy too) she sent us pictures every day and told us how they were doing! our dogs and cat loved her and we would recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter!”

Pet sitter Nova is caring & attentive. He has pet sat twice for me. Arrives on time & leaves at scheduled time. He’s flexible, knowledgeable & responsible. He even vacuumed & emptied the trash. Nice. Three dogs shed a lot. I can relax knowing he’s taking care of my dogs/family. He follows instructions. Stays in touch, sends me updates & photos. I definitely recommend him. Thank you Nova!

FAQs for House Sitting - Valle Vista
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Valle Vista on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,405 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Valle Vista. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Valle Vista walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Valle Vista maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Valle Vista choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
